French manicure is timeless, always in fashion. His variants, however, come and leave. And right now, Micro French is the ultimate trend. Like the classic French, it emphasizes the edge of the nail, only instead of dying the whole edge, here we have a very thin line exactly on the outline.

The result? An elegant and sophisticated look that makes the nail look longer and fine. This thin line gives the illusion of larger surface to the nail, and does it in the most discreet, sophisticated way.

The most fashionable twist in the classic

Think of the micro French like the minimalist, updated version of the traditional French. If you want to keep things more “classic”, you can go white for the line. But if you feel more creative, you can play with colors, textures and designs. A glitter french micro is impressive, and you can even do it in design, such as a micro tortoiseshell (a brown-beige reminiscent of tortoise).

How to do it yourself

The technique is relatively simple, but it requires a little accuracy. Start with one or two layers of transparent or pink-nud base. Then, with a very thin brush, make a line right on the edge of the nail. Don’t forget to have a brush with an angle and a little acetone next to you to correct any imperfections and achieve clean edges.

The only “disadvantage” of Micro French is that all attention falls to the edge of the nails, so if it breaks or peel a little, it looks easy. So, make sure you complete the look with a very good top coat for protection, and of course treat your nails with affection. They are not tools, they are jewelry!
